Re: cannot kill last buffer if it is named '*scratch*' 25 years, 8 months

SL Baur

This has nothing to do with the buffer name. The beep is coming from the new gutter code. The particular place you bombed doesn't do any bounds checking so it should do the same thing with any last buffer regardless of the name.

That idea I like. I *really* want to see the Major and Minor modes in effect and it is irritating not to be able to scroll the mode-line to make them visible there.

I presume Andy's gutter update stuff runs of those hooks. That would explain why it is triggered now. Jan

In both of the examples I posted earlier, the tabs represented buffers not mapped to any window. In this buffer I'm now writing in, there are two tabs `*sent mail to xemacs-review(a)xemacs.org*' and `*send mail*<3>' both of which are buffers that have been buried and will never see the light of a window again … [View More]

These are window specific, so I am not sure they are that well suited for a frame-wide gutter.
